IFC is ‘Protagonist’ of post-Sundance pick-up

Date:

Protagonist didn’t pick up any prizes at the fest, but it remains one of my favorite docs viewed during the more than 25 films I saw at Sundance. Apparently the folks at IFC Films and Netflix's Red Envelope Entertainment label are moments away from closing a deal on the pic from filmmaker Jessica Yu. 

From the director of In the Realms Of The Unreal 
– this is a Greek tragedy-inspired doc that uses the stories of four diverse men to explore the organic relationship between human life and Euripidean dramatic structure.
